My mum has around 20 of the singer sewing machines, some still on the foot power and some converted to electric. Growing up it seemed that every house i visited had one, and now most of them are at mums house in the windows. As well as the complete sewing machines she has numerous of the cast iron legs in the greenhouse for growing tomatoes. I dont know the ages of any of them but all of them are black with the gold scrollwork and one has the scrollwork engraved on but i believe it was done later as I've never seen another engraved one. incidentaly there was a ship wreck on a reef on the small island I'm from that the whole cargo was singer machines which may be where a lot of them came from originally but thats conjecture on my part (but knowing how small islands work it very likelly as I've seen a boat go aground and the crew get rescued and by the next morning anything of any use or value was stripped and hidden but its probably the only time a henhouse has been fitted with radar, lol)

Having a bad week on the boat due to 2 different storms, lost both backup wires for the ropes, lost many ropes and had no more to put out, access gangway is no longer straight and flat and some minor flooding in the steering void that has to be manually pumped out. The worst bit for me is getting into to void as my shoulders are as wide as the hatch. Hopefully we'll get some new ropes today as we cant afford to lose more if we want to stay tied up. oh and we ran out of coffee too

maybe from the lid o the jar?

Can cars get offended (possibly herbie)? its not people being talked about, its objects so the terms aren't offensive for this subject

for the chopped glass its probably easier to make some from the plastic you get in food containers or new dress shirt collars than it would be to cut them down. the pick up might be more difficult than the merc with the curved screen but thinner plastic should hold it shape well enough,

the storyline makes more sense if you watch the loki tv series but there were hints in far from home about the new marvel path of interlinked universes. now disney are in control they're forgetting some people just want to watch a movie as a one off rather than a whole convulated series of movies/shows that interlink together.

theres a 3d resin print body and wheels for the tamiya bug available. Its got the lights on the hood instead of the fenders. the seller i got one from is called arm2017 and is in france but I've seen the same print from various of the 3d print guys

terry ross used to write the small talk (models) section in the original uk street machine mag for around ten years. He competed a lot in the usa too. I've got one of his ceramic vw buses in a similar style to the bike. unfortunatelly he stopped doing his ceramics except for commisions, after having all his designs ripped off in the early naughties

the parts box do a few aussie bodies and curbside kits in resin https://www.thepartsbox.com/

I've been learning german over the last few weeks at work. I'm happy to say I'm now at the same speaking level as an 8 year old. However I have found it extremely easy so maybe next time I'll pick a kid that speaks german

I agree, most european cars are lhd, its only the uk and malta that drive rhd, lol

I agree, most european cars are lhd, its only the uk and malta that drive rhd, lol seriously, its just a bit of banter and no offence intended

because they can, old mercs are only expensive to you guys, and even then only the old rare ones are valuable. On this side of the pond mercedes are taxis and cars middle managers buy because they think they have made it, even the sls and slr lose lots of value when they leave the store so you can get a 2 or 3 year old merc for the same price as hot hatch. while you guys have recent mustangs and camaros as your cheap rwd cars we have mercs and bmws as ours

the 2 red ones are photoshops but i like the front end, the rear looks more like an aussie holden to me though

if your ordering wheels I suggest getting them a size or two bigger than you think you need, they seem a little undersized to me but most of my builds are 1/24. they are nice though

thats good news I guess, happy they will recover

He has a car in the petersen museum called gypsy rose, it was inducted into the historic vehicle register at the same time as the hirohata merc. Theres some good pics here, but my fav pi of it is when it was on show in DC with the hirohata https://classicandsportscar.com/features/gypsy-rose-queen-lowriders http://kustomrama.com/wiki/Walt_Prey

lovely looking piece of machinery,

I hope its not, cody seems to be the most chilled of the texas team

revell deutz tractor polar lights bug hasagawa bus (unfinished)

he's the inventor of the internal combustion engine, or at least the first commercially available engine

i think he might have a new car being built, there seems to be a 2nd gen camaro coming together in the background of his naration and another car other times

I think JJ has a crash in fastest too in the still to come bit at the end or it may have been shown in the coming this season bit at the start, also in humingbird racing what looked to be cody baker. Looks like there's a a bad one in the oklamhoma series too between jeff and damon in the white camaro. One of them had a lot of fire but not sure which

there's someone on here building that kit now, they 3d printed a larger set

I like the top one, not sure the chrome wheel suit it though but painted to match the frame would work.
